This Collection welcomes original research articles on carbon nanotube pores and nanopore membranes, exploring their role in molecular transport, selective filtration, and single molecule sensing among other applications.

A nanopore is a hole at the nanometer scale used in many important fields of research including biological sensing, filtration, and DNA sequencing. Beyond their basic filtering capabilities via ion selectivity, allowing specific ions to pass while blocking others, nanopores exhibit exceptional structural characteristics and surface charge, which influences molecular interactions, enabling precise control over transport mechanisms allows their use in biosensing and energy conversion. Their ability to provide real-time, label-free, and highly sensitive measurements makes nanopores a powerful tool for next-generation sequencing and personalised medicine. Furthermore, their surface charge effects influence molecular interactions, enabling precise control over transport mechanisms.
